All video stations are shown in one window. This central element gives an overview of the status of any connected application and allows the adjustment of the following parameters: · Fixture Layer ID · Soft Edge ID · Position (Grid XY) · Blade Mode (Keystone) · Start in Fullscreen · Show FPS · Allow Invite · Aspect Ratio · Content Handling (Fast Load/Slow Render, Balanced, Fast Render/Slow Load) · Iris resolution Blind Programming grandMA video can follow the blind programming of the grandMA console for the preparation of the next cue without having an effect on the current output. Pixelmapping This feature allows output of any video file or still image to DMX controlled LEDs like Video Walls or any other DMX fixture - controlled by the grandMA console. First of all a layout is created, where the size of the overall output and the dimensions of the pixel output are defined. Now the user can put any Pixel Mapper fixtures into that layout, which will then finally display the corresponding part of the video. The resolution may be adjusted by changing the parameters of the pixel output. The fixtures may also be relocated and even rotated after creating and patching.
